Bidders must submit an earnest money deposit of ₹565,000 (~$6,665).

Selected bidders must furnish 5% of the contract value as performance security within 28 days of receipt of the letter of acceptance.

The minimum annual energy output for the 0.5 MW Niwaru project must be 720,000 units, 187,000 units for the 130 kW Jaipur project, 280,000 units combined for the Bhakrota and BSO Yard systems, and 432,000 units for the Command Motor Transport installation.

Contractors not enlisted must meet Class “A” enlistment standards, including requirements related to annual turnover, financial capacity (solvency and working capital), and successful completion of similar works. They must also have an MoU with a solar firm carrying the specified rating unless they themselves hold such a rating, in which case the MoU is not required.
